    Hey guys,

    Once in a while I take a breather from Shapeways and do some building in Lego/Kreo/Megablocks (love that these are all compatible!) to clear my head.

    I did this a couple of weeks ago--I updated my car-combiner with a new look/sculpt.

    Here's the original sculpt, it used a formula car as the chest:

    I called him "Caster".

    But as I found a couple more Mega Blocks "Need for Speed" kits, I decided to make him from 6 cars instead...and then he'd look more like his little buddy, "Kingpin". Gave him proper hands and a less derpy face sculpt too...

    Here are the pics, enjoy:

    They are non-transforming, so I aim for maximum posability, 360 degree sculpting and solid proportions...

    That's it, that's all!!!

    It's basically 2 Mustangs--a black and white one--mashed together instead of the old formula car.

    You mean the little ones or Devastator?

    Many thanks, very much the vibe I was after. I also referenced unreleased Takara car combiners from the "Generations" books. :) 

    Hey thanks! The trick is picking up a whole bunch of those Need for Speed cars which now seem harder to find...but the core of Kingpin (the little guy) is solely from Kreo Megatron. If there's enough interest, I could at least do better photos if not instructions....
